the majority of smartphone owners the ability to utilize their devices
in the car for calling, streaming music, and even controlling supported
apps to enhance their driving experience,” said Ted Cardenas, vice
president of marketing for the Car Electronics Division of Pioneer
Electronics (USA) Inc.

Siri Eyes Free – Users of iPhone 6 Plus, iPhone 6, iPhone 5s,
iPhone 5c, iPhone 5 and iPhone devices can take advantage of Siri Eyes
Free functionality with a touch of the AppRadio 4 touchscreen. When
activated, Siri provides voice prompts through the vehicle’s speakers,
and the user’s questions and commands are received and transmitted
using the external microphone provided with the AppRadio 4 unit.

Bluetooth – To maximize the connectivity options available in
today’s most popular smartphones, AppRadio 4 offers both Bluetooth
hands-free calling1 and Bluetooth audio streaming and
wireless control of compatible devices. It includes Advanced Audio
Distribution Profile (A2DP) for wireless audio streaming and Audio
Video Remote Control Profile (AVRCP) version 1.4 for wireless control
of devices and related metadata (if available) to be viewed directly
on the Pioneer touchscreen display.

Enhanced Touchscreen User Interface – Designed with the
smartphone user in mind, the AppRadio 4 touchscreen user interface
(UI) provides easy access to the most commonly used features such as
apps, music and calling.

Built-in MirrorLink – MirrorLink technology enables consumers
to connect compatible smartphones to AppRadio 4 (or other compatible
in-dash receiver) via a USB cable to access certain music and map
applications for a more convenient and safer in-car experience.
Similar to AppRadio Mode, MirrorLink is integrated into AppRadio 4 and
offers a vehicle-specific interface and connectivity with MirrorLink
certified devices from smartphone manufacturers such as Samsung, Nokia
and others.

AppRadio 4 offers a simple and clean cosmetic design utilizing minimal
physical buttons on the left side of the screen for quick access by
drivers, with the majority of functions and control accessible and
operated through its high resolution 6.2-inch WVGA capacitive
touchscreen. The capacitive touch panel is used for all functions
including the app interface, music control/playback, AM/FM radio, and
Bluetooth functions. A total of four connectivity cable options2,
sold separately, enable connections to more than 30 different smartphone
devices available in the U.S. In addition, the unit now offers the
Android Media Transfer Protocol (MTP) for deeper access to files and
folders on Android devices.
